My ethernet didn't work. Please help!

Hello my friends. Help me please.
I have oracle linux server release 6.2
On it i have a problem:
# ifconfig eth0
shows status: UP BROADCAST MULTICAST (not RUNNING)
Of corse i have default gateway in 'netstat -rn'.
Command route perfomed in 20 seconds, all this time i'm waiting for line with default gateway.
I can ping only localhost from server.
What can i change in my settings to resolwe my problem?

Well if it is not running, turn it on.

Code:

ifconfig eth0 up

Check your ifcfg-eth0 file and add

Code:

onboot=yes

If i am not mistaken, it is Oracle linux is RHEL based. This would as such also appear in the supplied online manuals.

I changed that position using GUI, but it didnt change nothing except one line in ifcfg-eth0.
Status of eth0 UP but not RUNNING, and i can't ping gateway.

Do you have dhcp running somewhere?

What is the output of ifconfig -a from the terminal?

Also, what are the contents of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX, where X = the ethernet interface in use? (See this link for more: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/redhat-...configuration/.)
